commémoration 8 mai
J'ai été très émue par cette cérémonie hier, un homage à ceux qui ont perdu la vie dans les camps, qui ont survécu mais n'étaient jamais le même, qui ont du se cacher dans les greniers et sous-sols, qui ont grandi sous l'ombre des atrocités et qui ont lutté contre le nazisme. Dans les discours, les jeunes et les élus du coin ont dit les noms de tous ceux dont leur noms sont gravés dans le monument, gravés à jamais dans la memoire collective de ce merveilleux pays.

I was deeply moved by this ceremony that took place yesterday to commemorate the armistice of May 8, 1945. It was an homage to all those who lost their lives, who survived but were never the same, who hid in attics and basements, the were deported, who died in the camps, who grew up beneath the shadow of so much atrocity, who fought for against the nazis. In their speeches, the young people of the community and the elected officials who spoke mentioned names of real people, people whose names are engraved in monuments, engraved forever in the collective memory of the nation.
Until I can find the perfect image, I'm leaving this one in memory of Stacey's and Scott's son, Colin . . . for my friends and contact Scott who wrote on his website: "Artist second, dad first, friend always." May it comfort you to always remember, yesterday - the very last quote I read that your son wrote of YOU was: "My Heroes: My Loving Mother and Father". He knew you loved him in the end. Never forget. Rest in peace, Colin.

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember them;
In the blowing of the wind and the chill of the winter,
we remember them;
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them;
In the warmth of the sun and the peace of summer,
we remember them;
In the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of autumn,
we remember them;
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember them;
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them;
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember them;
So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are now part of us,
as we remember them.

As compiled in: "First Tears Over the Loss of Your Child"
"Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
Risin' against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?"
- Alan Jackson
This Dire Straits tune is so awesome!

A WWII Woman Veteran, not many of them left male or female.
When we think of memorial day, it's easy to forget that sometimes women (Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) also made the ultimate sacrifice as well as men. In many ways they are our forgotten heroes. This woman in the image above might be in the "Winter of her Life" but she still clings to our flag proudly.

On This Memorial Day

Remember those who served before.
Remember those who are no more.
Remember those who serve today.
Remember them as we eat and play.
Remember our protectors
who are not home today.
Remember them all on Memorial Day.

Crows have many symbolisms and when I saw this one sitting on a headstone I thought of this one, which seemed a good description of military service. -
"Crows provide the very potent power of protection. These intelligent birds are fiercely protective of their territories and their nests. They can usually manage to ward off trespassers that are much bigger than themselves.
This power, when transferred to a human, translates to vigilance and courage, especially with respect to the safety and well-being of loved ones."

In the first few weeks after the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, I joined a few different groups of volunteers to deliver supplies to several shelters along the coast.
On one of those trips, I came across this pair of taxi drivers. They were navigating a difficult path to deliver bottles of water to their taxi dispatch office. The first floor of the office had been hit by the tsunami, but they were quick to clear out the tsunami mud and resume operations.
Most vehicles in the path of the tsunami were destroyed, including much of the taxi fleet. These drivers were critical for transportation around the city, especially for families that were evacuated into shelters, but still wanted to return home to take care of their pets, and try to clear out the debris and tsunami mud from their homes.
"Between where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood, a concrete wall now exists.
The wall, one of the most deeply personal aspects of the 9/11 Memorial Museum, separates the public area from a repository of nearly 8,000 unidentified human remains. Inscribed on it, visitors will read a line from Virgil's "Aeneid":
"No day shall erase you from the memory of time."

Last year I was lucky enough to be in NYC working for 2 weeks during the Tribute Lights. Had an awesome time making new friends and roaming around the city. This may be one of my favorites. #neverforget

9/11 was 20 years ago today. The feeling of pulling together and being united seems so distant. How can we get back to that mentality where we help each other and come together?
Two thoughts on Memorial Day:
"A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom."
-- Bob Dylan
"No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks."
-- James Allen
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Every year on 9/11 I take a quiet walk to reflect and remember. This year I brought my camera to see what moments would unfold. The Monarch resting on yellow blooms felt like a gentle reminder of resilience and peace.

This is another of my photos from the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. It was after sunset, when I think the memorial looks best. The vibrant glow of the reflected light onto the benches lasts less than ten minutes each evening during transition to night.
